Love the video, and its really helpful to hear more arguments as to why spreading is inaccessible. I remember a round where a member of my team got spread out by a debater reading an ableism K in LD. He read spreading theory to respond but judges essentially just shrugged it off with the same "get good" argument (Along with the brightline for WPM argument, which I think this K covers well). I think this is an awesome way to help a lot of the debaters who get pushed out of the space because of spreading and I will definitely be sharing it with my team. Thanks.

I haven't thought about debate in ~5yrs and somehow this popped up on my YT recommended. This is absolutely incredible! I did LD debate in Wisconsin in the mid 2010s and nobody spread because judges couldn't understand it. Even though teammates and I were very successful debaters in Wisconsin, we weren't able to compete nationally because we weren't able to physically keep up with the speed. I tried running a similar (but much more poorly written) Speed K at some national tournaments, but didn't have much success because people would spread their responses to it! I loved your chess analogy where spreading in debate is like playing chess with 50lb pieces. I'll see if I still have debate connections with my HS and send this to them. Thanks again & this was a joy to see
